The DIS Dad's Club

Happy Father's day to you all in the "north". We have to wait until the first Sunday in September down here, but at least our weather is warmer by then and we can enjoy the day.

No Disney-related stuff for Father's Day, but I did get a great gift: a new Weber "Performer" Grill! My conversion from gas is now complete - back to the glorious Kingsford brickettes! (Why do I feel like Tim "The Toolman" Taylor for even typing this?)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day. My DW & DD surprised me with a discount golf package where I get over a dozen rounds of golf for free! Can't wait to get out and take advantage of it!

And the best part of yesterday was a spontaneous conversation that occurred on the couch between DW and I while we were watching TV. Out of the blue she turns to me and says "If you get your bonus next year, we should just go ahead and go there." I was a little confused at first because we hadn't even been discussing anything at the time... so I said, "Go where?" And this look of shock came over her face like she couldn't believe what I was saying... and she says "Disney World! Of course!". You should have seen the huge grin that came over my face... as I open the laptop... and begin putting in dates... for the next trip!

I just spent the bonus from work as a down payment on a new van for the kids. I wish it was for Disney, but I guess getting from point A to point B is a bigger deal than going to Disney.

Hey all. I've been lurking here for a while, but this post moved me to speak up. Justin the Hook, where are your priorities?????

I suppose that this is the delivery mechanism to get you to the World.

 

[middlepat]

So I figure I better introduce myself.

I've been plucking around theDis for roughly 4 years or so to assist with our trips to visit the World.

In my sig, I referenced only the trips my DW and I have made together, but we are both children of the WDW fan club. I still remember staying at Mickey's Village with my family and taking the Disney Transportation to MK as a teenager. (Yes that was a long time ago).

As I reviewed the qualifications list I think that I can sum up my membership application with the following story.

I'm the Disney guy at work. Whenever anyone is planning to go I get the call. To this point, my coworker who attends the same church we do has also begun to pass our names around the parish as the folks to call. In fact a few weeks ago, (right around when we made the decision to go ourselves) we received a random call from a woman that DW knew from preschool that DD2 attended a few years ago. Her family was planning to attend for 1 day (rookies) and asked how much she could see. Anyway so a couple of days later my coworker approaches me and asks, "Did so-and-so cal you?, I told her that you guys are the experts."

Anyway, I apparently can be a bit long winded as DW is complaining about the amount of typing I'm doing here. I look forward to getting to know everyone and discussing the finer points of all that is Disney.

Hey Ghostman, just go back from the World with my DW and 2 boys. Parks were great in the mornings but packed by lunch. Pool in the afternoon is the thing too due. Go back at night and catch the parades, shows and fireworks

2nd this motion. Words of wisdom here!

You had me laughing with this post! I was imagining a pair of dice... instead of the normal dots on the sides they were pictures of Disney resorts... "COME ON CONTEMPORARY THEME PARK VIEW!"

Interesting post... because I just had a guilty feeling about spending the bonus on the vacation rather than as a down payment for a new car for DW. Gotta say, though... the feeling didn't last long

Hope you got a good deal! prices seem to be dropping every day here in Virginia.

We head out this Saturday (only 4 more sleeps ). This is certainly our plans. Head into the parks early, leave around lunchtime when the crowds and temps get miserable and head back to the pool for relaxation and cooling down. Back at night for any must-do fireworks, etc. (if anything qualifies this trip) and use up those accumulated FPs.

Everyone remember to drink lots of WATER also to stay hydrated. You will feel much better and enjoy your vacation more!

Naw, I'm a last-minute packer myself. My DW, on the other hand, has been packed since Christmas

 

[Goofyz3girls]

Just thought to mention.....I was able to extend our July 4 stay an extra day.Since wife found out the office would be closed on July 3rd I have been trying to add the extra night at the VWL.This evening found out the deal went threw.So now its 8 long nights.......... I'll be packing up the minivan thursday night, pointing it south and won't stop (well gas and bathroom breaks) until WDW......

Btw... how do we add to the Dis Dads criteria list....heres my 2 cents............
"You would live year round in Disney when you win the powerball"

Personally I would love to change my mailing address to 1800 Epcot Resorts Blvd,Buena Vista,FL......"Beach Club Resort".....
